"Ih guess, Ih mean right now myh healin factah is so strong Ih could get my throat cut anh would be able tah heal," Eliza said looking uncomfortable. She hated talking about her living forever, it scared her, and it also reminded her that one day everyone around her would die. Her parents would die, Artemis would die, and even if she found a way to prolong death with her healing factor, Huntin would still die. And then thought of that made her feel empty and very alone.
Eliza let out a shakey sigh and wrapped her arms around Huntin's waist, just wanting the comfort that he was with her now.

Artemis listened carefully, but didn't speak or watch the two. It was more of a moment between the two of them as a couple than the three of them as friends in his mind. He gazed across the graveyard. It really was pretty, in a morbid kind of way.

"Well.......just remind me not to spend all my time worrying about you then." He smiled half-heartedly, kissing her cheek. He would always worry about her, no matter how immortal she was. "Hey, this is nice and all, but kind of a mood killer......" he chuckled. "Shopping, anyone?"

Artemis looked curiously at Eliza. He'd never been to a Wal-mart before. But he said nothing, throwing his shoes back over the fence and scaling it. In minutes he was over and putting his shoes back on.

Again Huntin just poofed to the other side, cracking his back. "Lead the way, my lady." He smiled and tried to push all thoughts of loss and death to the back of his head. He remembered Wal-Marts as a sort of haven of wonderment.

"It's right down tha street, so we don't have tah walk far," Eliza said taking Huntin's hand in her hand, she rubbed her thumb against the palm of his hand as she held his hand. Then she looped her arm around Artemis and guided them to the Wal-Mart.

Artemis chuckled, tickling Eliza's side as she looped an arm around him. He wasn't going to ask what a Wal-Mart was; it'd just make him look stupid. He'd find out soon anyway.

Once they arrived in the behemoth parking lot, Huntin took in a long breath. "I love the smell of low-priced crap in the morning." The Holy tower lumbered gracefully against the horizon line, rays beaming around it's gentle frame. Children, dragged by parents, screamed the scream of harpies, their cries ringing through the air. Huntin strode forward, his chest puffed out. He knew this land well.

Eliza grinned, "Ah tha king of Wal-Mart," she murmured into Huntin's ear and squeezing his hand, 'Come on Arty, Wally World awaits!"

Artemis looked warily at the building. It was big and reeked of something he couldn't place at that moment. He grimaced, allowing himself to be pulled towards the building of horror. "Ah." He said, "So this is a Wal-Mart."

Huntin walked up to the automatic doors, bowing and motioning inwards. "After you, oh glorious Eliza and.......Arty." He stood up and got a small cart, heading inside and taking in the smell of gum, diapers, and rubber.

Eliza instantly jumped into the cart, well tried to jump into the cart, fell over once, then climbed into the cart looking embaressed, "Now, let's go shoppin!" Eliza said cheerfully.

Artemis shot a look at Huntin. "Oh, so I do not get an adjective?" He said, folding his arms and pretending to be upset. He turned to Eliza, watching the show, looking confused. "Yeah, okay. Shop. But if you two ditch me in here I swear I will kill you."

"Chill oh lugubrious Artemis." Huntin smiled, pushing Eliza along. "So....we need what? A pair of pajamas, some undies, toothbrushes, shampoo, pants, shirts, dress clothes.....crap, it's worse than school shopping...." Huntin didn't realize JUST how much they had left behind. "Deoderant, brushes, toothpaste, Q-tips, razors, shaving cream, razor blades, mouthwash....." his voice trailed off as he tried to think of more things. "Oh....wait.....we're only staying for the weekend, right? Yeah, scratch most of that stuff."

"Yeah, pick on the french kid by using your big ass English words..." Artemis grumbled, wrinkling his nose. "You may need the razors and shaving cream, but I will not. Unless I plan to shave my legs, of course." He muttered, looking at the old woman.

Huntin smirked and pat Artemis on the back. "Okay, revised list. Pajamas, toothbrushes, deoderant, toothpaste, shaving stuff....." He wasn't a huge fan of shopping, but Wal-Mart made it worth while. He went ahead and went to the toiletries section to get shaving stuff, two in one shampoo-conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deoderant.

Artemis followed a few feet behind, looking at the people who passed. His arms were crossed, but not in anger. It was more of in discomfort. He didn't like this 'Wal-Mart' place and all these weird people.
